Remembering Mickey Katz, Madcap ‘King of Delancey Street’ (Correction)
An article in the December 20 issue, “Remembering Mickey Katz, Madcap ‘King of Delancey Street,’” misspelled the name of a famed crooner. His name is Russ, not Ross, Colombo.
Chapters 56 and 57 of Anne Roiphe’s serial novel, “Secrets of the City,” were inadvertently published in the wrong order in the issues of January 3 and 10. The chapters appear in the correct order on the Forward Web site, www.forward.com.
An article in the January 10 issue, “Groups Rap Feds Over Detention of ‘Visitors,’” mistakenly identified a Muslim advocacy group. It is the the Muslim Public Affairs Council, not Committee.
Hello, fellow Forward reader! I’m Joel Brown, a Forward reader and supporter for more than 15 years, and currently the chair of the board of directors.
I’m an avid Forward reader because it ticks so many of my essential boxes: excellent journalism, Jewish focus and diverse viewpoints. In today’s political climate, what I most appreciate is the Forward’s independence — made possible by the generosity of its membership.
The Forward is committed to bringing you unbiased, nuanced Jewish news. From my position as board chair, I see an exciting future as we expand our position as the definitive independent voice of contemporary American Judaism.
